Obito controlled the giant Buddha statue, forming fists with the massive arms behind it.
They smashed down violently toward Nagi and Shisui.
Since the surrounding area had been completely sealed off by Black Zetsu's Wood Release, the two had no room to dodge.
In desperation, Shisui activated both Mangekyō Sharingan, unleashing the second stage of Susanoo.
A green half-bodied warrior enveloped Shisui and Nagi.
The Buddha statue's fists rained down relentlessly, striking Shisui's Susanoo again and again.
Shisui endured intense pain as he desperately poured more dōjutsu power into strengthening Susanoo's defenses.
At that moment—
Nagi placed both hands on Shisui's back.
Dark Yin Release chakra surged from his body.
"…!?"
Shisui suddenly realized something strange.
The pain in his eyes had vanished.
Instead, his Mangekyō Sharingan felt clearer than ever before.
He glanced back at Nagi and immediately understood that the boy was helping him.
Nagi spoke softly.
"Shisui-senpai… I have an idea."
After hearing it, Shisui nodded.
Once Obito's barrage stopped, Shisui dismissed Susanoo.
Nagi suddenly clapped his hands.
"Water Release: Super Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The waters of the Naka River surged upward, enveloping Nagi and Shisui before gathering into an enormous water dragon the size of Obito's Buddha statue.
"And we're not finished yet!"
Shisui activated Susanoo once again.
This time, his eyes felt better than ever.
The emerald Susanoo directly wrapped around the water dragon.
"Armored Susanoo!"
Obito stared at the water dragon radiating power comparable to his wooden Buddha.
"…Tch. This just got troublesome."
He had planned to finish the battle quickly with the Buddha statue.
But he hadn't expected the other side to possess such a technique.
Nevertheless, Obito commanded the countless wooden arms behind the Buddha to smash down toward the dragon.
"Dragon Claw!"
Nagi controlled the water dragon's four claws, countering the Buddha's barrage of thousand-arm strikes move for move.
The dragon's massive body twisted through the air, its tail whipping violently against the Buddha statue.
For a time—
The two colossal constructs battled evenly.
After a while, the two giant figures pulled apart.
From within Obito's body, Tobi spoke:
"Obito. Use that move."
"I know."
Obito clasped his hands together.
"Five Elements Collapse!"
The five smaller Buddha heads on the statue suddenly expanded.
Within each mouth, a powerful chakra technique of a different elemental nature began to gather.
Seeing this, Nagi said to Shisui:
"Shisui-senpai, please cooperate with me."
"Understood."
Nagi spread his arms.
The dragon opened its jaws as well.
Relying on instinctive memory, Nagi controlled the ratio of Yin–Yang chakra at 2:8, forming a crimson sphere of chakra within the dragon's mouth.
The water dragon clenched the sphere between its jaws.
"…!?"
"That's a Tailed Beast Ball!!" ×N
Everyone present—
Shisui, Obito, the Zetsu, and even the approaching Minato Namikaze and the Konoha shinobi—
were shocked.
Obito immediately pushed the power of the five elemental techniques to their maximum.
Following Nagi's instructions, Shisui reinforced the dragon's jaws with Susanoo's power.
The five Buddha heads fired their attacks simultaneously—
Five massive elemental ninjutsu surged forward.
At the same time—
The dragon opened its mouth.
The crimson beam erupted outward.
Under Susanoo's enhancement, green light flickered around the attack, making it appear terrifyingly powerful.
The crimson beam collided with the Five Element techniques, creating a massive shockwave.
The Naka River and the surrounding land shook violently.
The two techniques clashed for several seconds.
Then—
The crimson beam crushed the Five Element attacks effortlessly, blasting through them like rotten wood.
It continued forward—
Completely destroying the upper half of the Buddha statue.
Obito hurriedly jumped down from the collapsing construct.
But the moment he landed—
A transparent green pyramid-shaped barrier suddenly appeared around him.
"Three Directions Seal!"
Three Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the corners of the pyramid.
Using the sealing barrier, they trapped Obito inside.
Obito attempted to activate Kamui, but his body refused to move.
"…What technique is this?"
Suddenly, five more Hiruzen clones appeared.
"Five Release: Great Five Element Barrage!"
From their mouths erupted five elemental ninjutsu simultaneously, bombarding Obito.
A devastating explosion followed.
Seeing this, Nagi and Shisui dismissed the Armored Susanoo Water Dragon.
The technique consumed far too much chakra.
At that moment—
Behind them, space twisted into a spiral.
A battered Obito, his clothes and mask partially shattered, suddenly appeared from the distortion.
He reached out to grab them.
At the critical moment—
"Rasengan!"
Minato suddenly appeared behind Obito.
With a single Rasengan, he blasted Obito away, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.
As Obito tried to stand—
Danzō Shimura suddenly appeared in front of him.
Grabbing Obito by the throat, he activated a seal.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
"…!?"
Obito realized he couldn't move.
Even his chakra was completely suppressed.
Before he could react—
Danzō ripped off Obito's mask—
And forcibly gouged out his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Minato looked at the defeated Obito lying on the ground.
His expression was complicated.
"…Obito."
Obito heard his voice and sneered.
"Heh… Minato-sensei."
"You arrived just in time this time."
"If only back then you had—"
SLAP!
Danzō smacked him across the face.
"Know your place."
"You can speak during interrogation."
Then he looked at Minato.
"Minato."
Minato nodded.
"Obito… whatever you want to say, we'll discuss it later."
He turned and walked toward Nagi and Shisui.
Thanks to Nagi's Yin Release chakra support, Shisui was still in relatively good condition.
But Nagi looked exhausted.
Earlier that day he had:
Completed intense training with Satsuki
Fought against Obito and Zetsu
Performed Armored Susanoo
Used Super Water Dragon + Tailed Beast Ball
His chakra reserves were heavily drained.
Seeing that neither of them had suffered serious injuries, Minato finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment—
Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi, Yashiro, and many other elite Uchiha shinobi arrived.
After seeing the scene before them, they quickly understood what had happened.
"Nagi! Nagi! Are you okay?!"
Satsuki rushed over immediately.
She anxiously checked Nagi's body for injuries.
Seeing her repeatedly searching for wounds, Nagi smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, Satsuki. I'm fine."
But Satsuki ignored him, continuing to check him thoroughly.
After confirming he wasn't injured, she finally sighed in relief.
Just as Nagi was about to say something—
Satsuki suddenly lifted her head.
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
Her usual cold expression was completely gone.
She buried her face in Nagi's chest and began crying.
"I'm so glad… I'm so glad…"
"Nagi, I'm so happy you're okay!"
"I thought I'd never see you again!"
Nagi gently patted her head.
"It's alright. Don't cry."
"See? I'm fine."
After a while, Satsuki finally stopped crying.
Her body was still trembling slightly.
She lifted her head and stared directly into Nagi's eyes.
Only then did Nagi notice—
Her eyes had changed.
They were now two-tomoe Sharingan.
